Synthesis question 1 PSLE

All of us did not believe what Amy said.

Not one of us believed what Amy said.

OR

Not one of believed what Amy had said. :?:

I am pretty sure it is none of us believed what Amy said. This is my reasoning: Since the original question is in a single sentence, we do not need to worry about what action came first and what is the tense. But say a similar question in 2 sentences as shown below:

Amy said that it was true. We did not believe her.

Ans: We did not belive what Amy had said was true.

Since the first action occurred before the second and the second is in past tense, the first action is in past perfect tense.

However, this is PSLE, u never know what the answer may be. Anyone else has an idea about it?

obsession:

[quote=\"kiasuss\"]

it should be: The fact that he did not keep his promise upsets me.
it is 'upsets' cuz 'fact' is uncountable so must be singular

My son wrote 'upsets' too which is incorrect. Originally, he wrote 'upset' but he thought like you about 'the fact' bit.

The 'upset' in the question is in the past tense. Thus it should still remain as 'upset' (past tense).

I put upset at first, but then changed to upsets then changed to made me upset because it sounded more natural to me[/quote]the 'upsets' in the answer is not about the past or present form but the singular or plural. there is no past or present form in upset. both is still the same so it depends on the singular or plural of the subject

For Compo,I chose question 3.

That's my compo.

The class was yawning away as the teacher went on and on with his monotonous tone.\"Ring!\" The school bell rang to signal the end of school.I sat up right,just like all my other bleary-eyed classmates,waiting for the teacher's signal to dismiss us.When he did,we sprang out from our seats and rushed out of school.

\"Jane!\"my friends,Amelia and Eunice called out for me.\"Hello!\"I shouted back while waving my hands at them.Together,we walked to the bus stop.
Time seemed to pass so slowly while waiting for the bus to arrive.Suddenly,I saw an elderly woman walked unsteadily towards our direction.Concerned,I rushed over to give her a hand.\"Are you alright?\"I asked.\"I have just been robbed!The robber pushed me and I fell,my legs hurts now...\"she replied.

I was stunned.My instincts nudged me that we should report this robbery case to the police!Just then,my friends walked towards us and asked what happened.I told them about the elderly woman's mishap and we advised the elderly woman,\"We think that you should report the incident to the police.We will accompany you along.\"She nodded weakly,apparently,she was still shaken from the sudden turn of events.On our way to the police station,we supported her and also offered consolation to her.

When we reach there,the elderly woman was asked to give a statement.After that,the police officer and the elderly woman thanked us for our quick-thinking of advising the elderly woman to report the case to the police.I smiled sheepishly.The police officer then informed the elderly woman's son to fetch her.

Knowing that she would be well-taken cared of,we left and headed back to the bus stop.I could not help but beamed with pride on my way home as I had done a good deed and that's a fact.

Wondering how much I would get? :?:
